Roadtrip Espresso

Banana Espresso Crème Brûlée

This banana espresso crème brûlée for two is simple to make and so decadent. It’s rich, creamy, and infused with our Roadtrip Espresso, adding a bitter coffee note that perfectly balances the caramelized banana flavour. We swapped some of the traditional heavy cream for Korean banana milk, then topped it all off with fresh banana slices, and finished it off with that signature torched sugar top. It's the perfect elevated treat for any night.

  • Ingredients

    For the crème brûlée

    • ⅓ cup heavy cream 
    • ⅓ cup banana milk, such as Binggrae banana milk 
    • 1-½ tbsp brewed Roadtrip Espresso 
    • ½ tsp vanilla extract 
    • ¼ tsp kosher salt 
    • 2 large egg yolks 
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar, plus more for topping
    • Banana slices


    Equipment
     

    • Two 4-ounce ramekins 
    • Instant read thermometer 
    • Kitchen torch

  • Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a saucepan, combine cream, banana milk and salt; cook over medium-low heat just until hot and gently simmering. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

    2. In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar together until light. Gradually stream the warm cream into this mixture, whisking simultaneously. Add in the brewed espresso and stir to combine. Pour the cream into two 4-ounce ramekins, and place the ramekins into a large roasting pan.

    3. Fill the pan with boiling water until it is halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the centres are just barely set and the instant read thermometer registers 170°F or 77°C.

    4. Let cool completely on a rack, before refrigerating for at least 3 hours or up to a couple of days. Before serving, top the ramekins with banana slices and sprinkle sugar over the top. Torch the tops until the sugar is deeply caramelized and browned.
